should be free as in beer? --PeterM

\_ My contributions to the ACLU do not qualify for a tax break,

\_ Wish I had known that all these years...
\_ In their capacity as a non-profit, they have certain rules to
follow. In their capacity as a religious organization, they get
a much better tax break and thus have more stringent rules to
abide by. If they want to violate those rules, then they should
not receive the special treatment they would be accorded if
they obeyed the rules.
\_ Should God be taxed? |

| www.aclu.org/supportaclu/taxdeductible/index.html Support the ACLU: Make a Tax-deductible Gift to the ACLU Foundation Everything that the ACLU is able to do ? that is, the extent of the commitment we are able to make to protect the enduring values embodied in the Constitution and civil rights laws ? will have an enormous impact on the freedoms that we are struggling to preserve for coming generations. Matching Gifts Defending First Amendment freedoms, equality, privacy rights and fundamental fairness requires constant vigilance and support. Each year, individuals and institutions -- including foundations, unions and corporations -- demonstrate their commitment to those shared constitutional values through steady gifts and grants to the ACLU Foundation. The ACLU is comprised of the American Civil Liberties Union and the ACLU Foundation. Click here to learn more about the distinction between the two organizations. The ACLU Foundation is the arm of the ACLU that conducts our litigation and communication efforts. Gifts to the ACLU Foundation are tax-deductible to the donor to the extent permissible by law. Membership dues for donors who "Join" and become card-carrying members of the ACLU are gifts to the American Civil Liberties Union. These dues and other gifts to the American Civil Liberties Union are not tax-deductible. |
